Landmar Playa La Arena

Just returned home after a lovely week here. Hotel very impressive and I felt very relaxed from the minute we walked through the doors. Food and drinks excellent and rooms perfectly adequate. Staff very pleasant. One downside that I found intensely irritating was the large number of guests of other nationalities (English were the minority) I wouldn’t have had a problem with this but it was blatantly obvious how rude most of them were! On one occasion my daughter held open the gate onto the street as a couple were walking out of the hotel and we were going back into the hotel - no thanks, nothing! Also noticed they regularly pushed in and basically had no manners at all. This is no fault of the hotel as all staff were very polite. Location was great for us - Playa de la Arena is a lovely little resort, not too commercialised but enough supermarkets/gift shops and a nice beach if that is your thing. Walk to Los Gigantes took about 30 mins and is lovely. Would also highly recommend the Teide by Night trip which you can book outside the Lava restaurant within the hotel, this cost 89 euros per person and included a meal.

We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have remained longer. Couldn't fault it . We loved the food and all the options provided at meal times and through the day. The room was smart and well equipped. The hotel common areas were well designed and clean. The staff were all great. The location was very convenient for us. We appreciated the platinum option which have access to quieter and child free spaces.

Gorgeous location with easy beach access! The atmosphere was wonderful. Rooms were gorgeous, so neat and clean. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Our value for money was incredible. Food and drinks were delicious and DID NOT DISSAPPOINT! Noise level was quiet when trying to sleep, had no issues at all. Overall the hotel was beautiful and staff were so helpful with any questions. Bar staff were so lovely and made sure we were topped with drinks 🤗🤗 Me and my boyfriend went all inclusive without platinum and we didn’t feel like we were missing out on much at all. Pools were gorgeous and clean! Xx Thank you so much for our stay! We will be returning next year 😍😍

We arrived at the hotel late in the evening after our flights were delayed, so we were tired and just hoping for a smooth check-in. Thankfully, we were welcomed by Naira, who immediately turned what had been a stressful day into a lovely start to our stay. From the moment we arrived, Naira was incredibly warm, friendly, engaging, and had a fantastic sense of humour. She checked my partner Michael and me in quickly and efficiently, while taking the time to explain all of the benefits included with our Platinum upgrade. Nothing felt rushed, and she made us feel genuinely valued as guests. When we got to our room, it was absolutely spotless, and we were delighted to find a selection of thoughtful gifts waiting for us. It was such a lovely surprise and really set the tone for what we hope will be an amazing stay. This is only our first night, but thanks to Naira, our holiday is already off to the best possible start. She is a real credit to the hotel, and her exceptional customer service deserves to be recognised. Thank you, Naira—we can't wait to enjoy the rest of our stay! – Jaye

They are so good! So funny. We love them. Spend great time with whole team!

I love it. Manu is really funny and really good person. I really enjoyed it.

Hotel amazing staff go above and beyond food amazing animation team are amazing come around and include you in all activities big shout out to the team

We would absolutely recommend this hotel! We booked it for a couples’ getaway and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the entertainment team did a brilliant job throughout our stay. Every member of staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve already started looking at booking again for next year. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely amazing hotel. We've been on many all inclusive holidays around the world and I have to say this is outstanding. The food is unreal both in the restaurant and pool snack bar and the care and attention when catering for my dad who is Celiac is outstanding. The whole hotel and pool area is spotless, neat, and beautiful. The staff can't do enough for you and nothing is too much trouble. They even have a man with his hawks come every day to keep pigeons away! Fabulous programme of quality evening entertainment. It's our last day here today and I'm already looking at booking to come back .... which is something we rarely do as we usually like different places. Lovely little resort too, perfect for a chilled holiday. ❤️👌

The hotel is at very nice location. Rooms are nice and cozy and the aren’t dark. Atmosphere of this hotel is stellar, there is alot of flowers, which I personally like. Everything is clean, not much to debate on that. Noise is non existant in here, it is calm. You recieve bunch of amenities, such as: dental kit. For what you pay for, this is very nice and worth every penny. Last but not least, staff. They are friendly and smile at you every time, especially Sandra P. I’d love to come back here again next year!

This is our 4th visit in 2 years we first went in January 2025 and the hotel and staff were amazing. The hotel is clean enough however it is the entertainment staff who make your holiday. However on this last visit the entertainment arena was shut due to it being renovated and was held at the pool area instead it just didn't have the same atmosphere. Also, the food in the main dining area was mediocre this time, much of the same therefore we had to eat out 6 days out of the 9. I would suggest getting the beds daily as we did it does give you comfort and quiet. We must give a big shout out though to the following members of staff (bar staff) Patricia, Estoban & Jordi. And the entertainment team Irene, Andrea, Anton & Manu......not forgetting Mr Teeth......... you are all an absolute asset to the hotel. Overall we have always had a great experience and will be going back January 2027 however will only be once a year now. Thanks guys amazing team as always

Absolutely nothing to fault 10/10 spent 10 days here and would absolutely recommend it. Clean rooms, lovely location with an English and Irish bar close by only an hour on the bus to get to Siam park and the Costa adeji market, great food selection and different choices at the pool bar. The staff also 10/10 at both the bar and the entertainment team very friendly and made us feel welcome and involved. Irene. Andrea and Anton are brilliant at their jobs and made the atmosphere very enjoyable. Would definitely return and would and have already recommended to family and friends. We also only had the all inclusive plus not the premium and for the price could not see the point in upgrading so I would not say it is needed at all.

Me and my husband are going to spend this summer already our third vacation in this magical hotel! There is absolutely no reason to hestitate a minute more to book it. Staff, service, food, pool, cleanliness... everything is on top level! :-) Thank you for your great work for this marvelous place. Lucia and Lukáš

The hotel is lovely and well run. Staff are attentive and never on phones. Room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Main pool opens at 10am but at least there was no people leaving towels on sunbeds which was really good. I was here before and food was much better. The higher end food choice has disappeared. We had two a la carte restaurant bookings which i found out when i asked. On the hotel "web" app it said we had none. There was only 1 a la carte restaurant which was spanish(?)... When we saw the menu had nachos and guacamole as one of the limited choice of starters and burger as the best choice of mains we didn't dine there. ITV was on the TV but didn't come through, the technician said they didn't have it anymore. Disappointing for me as i wanted to watch some of the worid cup and Royal Ascot on it. Its a bit remote with local bars are a bit dodgy... Watch your bags girls. Special mention for Victor who was excellent behind the bar!

We have just returned from a week at the hotel and I can honestly say we were so pleasantly surprised after reading some not so great reviews! Here’s my honest breakdown Accommodation- it’s clean, spacious and exactly what we needed but it is tired and could so with some love. (We thought it was built in the 70/80’s so was shocked to google and find out it was a 00 building) but it was a good hotel and we were happy, two showers made getting ready a breeze! Plenty of storage and cleaned everyday Staff- fantastic! They listened and helped with every query we had! From booking taxis to getting the right drink they were brilliant Location- we like it because it’s the quieter side of Tenerife, everything we need was either on the door step or a cab ride away buoy just need to bear in mind it’s a 30 min cab journey instead of a 5. Guests - mostly English and incredibly rude! I wish I’d researched more as I wouldn’t describe it as family friendly, great if you’re older or a couple! This is not a dig at the hotel just is what it is! Food - fab! Different theme each night, also different lunch theme at the pool bar, it’s the same as most all inclusive see have been too, good quality and changed regularly so nice and fresh I would recommend this hotel to couples, adult groups or families with older children. But overall we had a great holiday

Just arrived home from a great 7 night stay. The hotel is always clean and tidy and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The range of food is the best I’ve ever seen in an all inclusive hotel. Always plenty of choice even for my elderly dad who can be a bit picky with food! The main entertainment was a bit hit and miss. The bands that played were excellent. The variety shows were not really to our taste. But there is also a singer in the lobby bar every night if the main entertainment is not for you. There is a no reservation policy on sunbeds although this doesn’t seem to be enforced. There were a lot of sunbeds with towels and no people on them. Not a problem during our stay but could be frustrating in high season. A simple system whereby a card is put on the bed and if it’s still there in an hour the towel gets removed would be easy to implement. We’d booked superior rooms which turned out to be on the side of the hotel next to a road. As a light sleeper i could still hear the road even with the doors closed which wasn’t ideal but for normal sleepers prob not a problem.

We stayed at Landmar Playa La Arena for 10 nights in May 2026 on an all-inclusive basis with the Platinum Club upgrade and had a very enjoyable stay. First impressions were excellent. The lobby is one of the most impressive we have seen in a four-star hotel, with beautiful marble finishes, spacious seating areas, glass lifts and immaculate planting throughout. The hotel feels modern, well maintained and considerably more luxurious than its official rating might suggest. Our sea-view room was spacious, spotlessly clean and offered fantastic views over the pools and coastline. The bed was extremely comfortable, housekeeping was excellent and we particularly appreciated the water refill stations located throughout the hotel. The bathroom was well equipped, although the amenities pack was rather limited and the toilet area felt a little cramped. Food was consistently good throughout our stay. The Lava buffet offered plenty of choice at all meals, with fresh fruit, good-quality breads, freshly prepared items and a varied selection of hot dishes. We especially enjoyed the two à la carte restaurants, with Arena being our favourite thanks to its more refined menu and beautifully presented dishes. The Platinum Club upgrade was worthwhile for us. The adults-only infinity pool area was peaceful, well maintained and never overcrowded. Access to The View lounge, premium self-service drinks, upgraded breakfast options, complimentary lunches at Muelle, additional à la carte dining, complementary safe and mini-bar all added significant value. The Platinum by Night event was also a lovely touch. Staff throughout the hotel were friendly, professional and hardworking. Check-in was efficient, restaurant staff were attentive and the hotel was exceptionally clean in all public areas, including the poolside facilities and sports complex. The hotel also offers a wide range of activities, including mini golf, archery, tennis, pétanque, table tennis and organised pool activities. While some areas of the sports facilities are beginning to show signs of wear, they remain perfectly usable and provide plenty of entertainment. The hotel was carrying out some improvement works during our stay, including a new restaurant at the far end of the grounds and refurbishment of some accessible rooms. We also had work taking place in the room above ours. However, the hotel managed this exceptionally well. Work didn't start until after 9am, there was no mess visible to guests and disruption was minimal. A few minor areas could be improved. The paving around the main pool is looking tired and would benefit from refurbishment. Certain pieces of furniture in the rooms are beginning to show their age, and some additional vegetables with dishes in the à la carte restaurants would have been welcome. Overall, however, these are small observations in what was an excellent holiday. The hotel combines impressive facilities, friendly staff, beautiful sea views, good food and a relaxing atmosphere. We would happily return and would not hesitate to recommend it, particularly for couples and adults looking for a quieter Tenerife resort experience.

Animation team was very good and inclusive, kept us entertained, the buttet had a wide range of food which was all delicious and the black sand beach was lovely just a short walk from the hotel there is also a couple of nice restaurants and shops just outside the hotel

Brilliant animation team. Location and food is perfect right near a beach with many options for food choice.

Absolutely loved our stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, the food was excellent, and the scenery was simply stunning. We also chose to pay extra for the Platinum package, and for us it was absolutely worth it. The service throughout the hotel was fantastic, with waiters and waitresses who were consistently friendly, polite, and attentive. Unfortunately, there was one major downside that significantly affected our experience: the rooms have incredibly thin walls. Both my husband and I were repeatedly woken up during the night by guests in the rooms on either side of us having sex. It was impossible not to hear everything, which was both uncomfortable and frustrating. While the lack of consideration shown by other guests was disappointing, the real issue is the poor soundproofing between rooms. It’s a shame because the hotel excels in so many areas, but being unable to get a decent night’s sleep detracted from what would otherwise have been an outstanding stay.

Been to this hotel many times always loved it but unfortunately this time very disappointed. They are currently building a restaurant very near to the platinum pool which was awful the noise, banging and drilling was not acceptable. They have also closed the show room which was used for drinks at lower terrace. The shows are now in the snack bar. The large terrace did not have any entertainment at all. They advised that inprovements will be finished in August which is not good if you are going before then. If I had known all this I would not have booked. As for the platinum a complete waste of money, too much noise, not great for allover tan and you have to get your own drinks while other guests get table service. We were getting a late flight so was expecting to keep our room for longer but was refused. What is the point of paying £800 extra. I will never go to this Hotel again. Tenerife airport is a nightmare and it was suppose to be quiet. The terminals are faulty I tried six before I found one that works,not good for hundreds of people queueing. When we got the gate number the queue was so long you could not see the front or the back. We were lucky that jet2 would not leave without us.
